I’m a fun-loving boy and I don’t have a mean bone in my very sturdy body! I was originally adopted when I was about six months old, but as I got bigger, my dog roommate began to dislike my style of play. I love other dogs but the shelter thinks it’s best if I’m an only pet. I’m just a big, goofy guy who is silly and fun! I’m crate-trained and house- broken, and have begun some training to learn manners. Like many dogs my age, if I’m left alone unsupervised, you might come home to a rock star’s hotel room! But don’t worry because I like my crate and don’t mind being in there when you’re gone. I have a really high prey drive, so no cats for me. Bunnies and birds better look out, too! The long and short of it is this: I need to be the only pet, I require a wooden fenced-in yard, my new owner will have to have had a dog before, and any kids I live with need to be at least 10 years old. Sound like a match made in heaven? I promise a lifetime of love, happiness and goofiness! Lyla Female | 2 years old | Retriever Mix Hi, I’m Lyla! I came here because my owner was ill and could no longer take care of me. I’m a happy, friendly, playful girl. Cats are just big squeaky toys to me, so you’d best not bring me home if you have cats. I may do well with a dog, but sometimes I’m too pesky for my dog friends. I have a lot of energy, like any young retriever. I need a family who will run or walk long distances with me. I’ve been to training and know all my basic commands. Call my name and I am by your side. If you are an active family looking for a dog to take with you on all of your adventures, then I’m the gal for you! Mindy Female | 7 months old | Grey and White Hi, I’m Mindy. I’ve been staying with a WSHS volunteer until I grew big enough for adoption. Here’s what my foster mom has to say about me and my brother Mork: “We’ve been fostering two adorable kittens that are ready to find their forever homes. They’re a little over four months old and as sweet as can be! They’re brother and sister but they don’t need to be adopted together. Both are litter box trained and fine with cat friendly dogs. They’re spayed/ neutered and up to date on all shots. Mindy is gray and white. She’ll usually come when she’s called especially if it involves food. She’s very playful like her brother and likes anything that moves. She’s also super snuggly and loves attention.” I’ve been raised in a home and now I’m prepared to go to my forever home. I’m good with kids and dogs and my only requirement is that I live in a home with another kitty who will be my friend. Ask to see me today! Justin Male | 51/2 years old | Black and White Hey, everyone, I’m Justin! I was adopted as a kitten and returned as an adult. I have some trust issues now. I put all my trust in my original family and they brought me back because they wanted to move to a no-pet apartment. Now it takes me longer to size up the people I allow into my life. Is that wrong? I’m now looking for a quiet home with older kids. I’m a handsome dude who has been misunderstood. Come save me! 3
